Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Lu Changhua took his father to have a meal in the private room of Hongbin Building.

Lao Lu felt that he had found his opponent.

"Son, this restaurant is okay, the chef is good."

"Dad, how do you compare with him?"

"When it comes to cooking, there is still a gap between him and me. After all, he is a regular chef, and I am just a member of the Caotai team. How can we compare? But..."

Lao Lu smiled mysteriously.

"If he specializes in cooking fish, he may not be able to compare with me."

Lao Lu smiled confidently.

"Dad, just have confidence. Our Lu Family Yufu must make a name for itself and become famous instantly."

"Okay, okay, let's not brag. If we don't solve the problem of pepper, we really can't cook this fish."

Lao Lu started to worry.

"Dad, if that doesn't work, go to Harbin and have a look. There should be one in the provincial capital, right?!"

"Who knows? It seems like we can only go over and have a look."

After leaving Hongbin Building, Lao Lu still couldn't bear to spend 50 cents to buy three donkeys, so the two of them could only walk back and take a look at the street scene.

After walking around for more than 40 minutes, we returned to the Red Flag Hotel.

At the reception desk of the hotel, Lu Changhua saw the honest-looking Xing Wenbin at a glance.

"Boss Lu, are you back?"

"Ah? It's Captain Xing?!"

Lao Lu also recognized him.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Haha, it's okay, I just arrived."

Lu Changhua followed his father, and the three of them entered 106 together.

"Sit down, have you been working hard these two days?"

Lao Lu had a smile on his face.

Seeing his father greeting Xing Wenbin, Lu Changhua found the tea can in the hotel, brewed two cups, and sent them to his father and Captain Xing.

"Boss Lu, this is the picture we made. Please see if there are any omissions."

Lao Lu took it over, looked at it, asked a few questions, and handed it to Lu Changhua.

Lu Changhua understood it clearly, nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

After confirming the drawings, Lao Lu felt a lot more at ease.

He asked: "What's the budget?"

Xing Wenbin took out another budget table.

Neither Mr. Lu nor Mr. Lu can understand this thing. How do they know how much steel bars, bricks, and cement are used?

However, the total price is clear.

5628 yuan.

I go!

"So expensive?"

Lao Lu's eyes nearly popped out.

You know, nowadays, for private housing transactions, a thousand yuan is considered high.

Especially in a small county like Beining.

For a house of fifty or sixty square meters, five hundred or six hundred yuan is considered a high price. Some houses can be purchased for just two hundred yuan.

Money is very valuable right now.

Otherwise, would Lao Lu feel bad about paying 10,000 yuan in one lump sum?

That's half a stab in his heart!

What, you Xing Wenbin also stole my heart?!

"Boss Lu, the main reason is that the price of building materials has increased this year. We use unplanned materials, so the prices are very expensive."

“How much more expensive can it be?”

Lu Changhua knew that what Xing Wenbin said was right.

There is a huge difference between planned and unplanned.

At the moment, a dual-track price system is being implemented, and this is how many scams occur.

"It's a lot more expensive, almost twice as expensive."

Xing Wenbin also had no idea.

He actually asked Lu Changhua if he could ask the department store to come forward to modify it, so that they could apply for part of the planned supplies, and the cost would be much lower.

But Lu Changhua thought for a moment and still refused.

Even now, I have taken advantage of it.

Secretary Wang also supports him.

If such a request is made again, I am afraid that the opposition within the department store will catch Secretary Wang's hair. Besides, you can't always cause trouble to others just to save a few money.

"Can you reduce the cost further?"

"This...if we don't add a cover in the future, the strength of the bottom layer can be reduced, and it can also be reduced by a thousand and a half."

When Lu Changhua heard this, he realized that this was to reduce the amount of steel and cement used.

He also knows why the cost is high.

This is still his request.

Although he only added private rooms and kitchens behind the front hall, for future development, Lu Changhua asked him to strengthen the strength of the ground floor according to the three-story layout, so that the amount of steel and cement would be increased.

Of course, it would be fine if they were all built with bricks, but the earthquake resistance would be basically gone. A slight shake would make the building dangerous.

"Dad, I asked him to increase the strength of the building. When we build a second floor in the future, it will be easier and there will be no need to rebuild."

Lu Changhua explained.

Only then did Lao Lu understand.

"Then let's sign a contract?"

"Okay, I also brought the contract."

"Oh, are you so well prepared?!"

"Hehe, it should be."

Xing Wenbin took out the contract, and both parties agreed on the terms and signed the contract.

"You can only enter the market at the end of the month, so prepare the materials first."

Lao Lu said.

"Okay. However, you have to pay some advance payment. The price of materials has fluctuated a lot now. I'm afraid that at the end of the month, the price will rise again. By then, this material..."

"I'll give you two thousand first to prepare materials, but don't take the money and run away."

Lu Changhua made it clear half-jokingly and half-seriously that he was also afraid that Xing Wenbin would run away with the money.

There are really people who do this these days.

Think about it, people who usually earn thirty or fifty a month suddenly have a huge sum of two thousand in their hands. Some people really can't resist the temptation.

"Don't worry, I will work hard and won't run away. Hehe."

He typed the receipt and gave it to Lao Lu.

Lao Lu was never worried about the chili peppers, and he wanted to go to Harbin to visit.

Lu Changhua wanted to accompany him, but he didn't trust his father alone.

In the early days of reform and opening up, society was full of scum, bad guys came out to hunt for food, there were a lot of petty thefts, and there were a lot of fights.

The two of them were packing up and preparing to check out and go to the train station when Director Huang from the First Department Store came over.

"Hey, Director Huang, why are you here?"

"Haha, you two have so much free time, why do you want to go out?"

"Hey, we want to go to Harbin Market and look for some condiments."

"Haha, Xiao Lu, I'm afraid you can't go."

"Oh? Why?"

Lu Changhua was stunned by Director Huang's words.

"That's it. Regarding your business license, you now have two options. Let's see what you think."

Director Huang said very enthusiastically.

"Two choices?"

Lao Lu could only listen, he didn't understand this.

"Yes, Comrade Lao Lu. One is that you apply for a self-employed license, but supplies such as grain and oil can only be purchased in the market, and there is no plan to supply them."

Hiss~~

Lao Lu and Lu Changhua both took a deep breath.

How to open a restaurant without supplies?

"The second method is to apply for a business license in the name of a subordinate unit of the department store. In this way, there will be a planned supply of grain and oil, and a supply book. This will be a lot more convenient for you."

Just as Lao Lu was about to speak, Lu Changhua pulled off his clothes.

Could he not know the consequences of this?!

If he chooses a unit affiliated with a department store, it may seem convenient now, but it may have too many sequelae.

By then, he wouldn't be able to tell who owned this hotel, and he would have to file a lawsuit if he didn't do it. This kind of thing happened too many times in his previous life, and he didn't want it to happen to him.

"Director Huang, we'd better not bother with the store and just set up an individual business."

"What about your grain and oil?"

Director Huang really thinks about Lu Changhua.

"Let's think of a solution for this."

In fact, Lu Changhua had a good idea.

As a farmer, can I still be short of grain and oil?

Besides, if it really doesn’t work, it’s not a matter of looking for my eldest brother’s father-in-law!

"Okay, you go back and get the documents, and I will accompany you to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a license."

"Okay, thank you, director, for taking care of me."

"Xiao Lu, that's too polite of you to say that. We are one family and we don't talk about two families!"

Once this happened, Lu Changhua could no longer accompany his father. He had to return to the farm to get a letter of introduction and relevant certificates.

"Dad, let me take you to the car first."

When Lao Lu saw this, he knew there was nothing he could do. Applying for a license was a big deal.

Director Huang left a piece of paper with the relevant documents that needed to be processed on it.

Lu Changhua put the list in his arms, sent Director Huang away, and took Lao Lu to the train station.

Currently, the only trains to Harbin are those starting from Longzhen and a few trains from Qishi that stop in Beining.

In order to rush for time, it was too late to book the departure train.

If you have a car, get on it.

Fortunately, Dad still had a letter of introduction with him. Lu Changhua bought him a ticket, bought a platform ticket himself, and sent Dad to the station.

Woo~~~~

The green train, which was emitting bursts of white smoke, slowly stopped at Beining Railway Station.

The radio broadcasts the train's arrival information.

Lao Lu only carried a schoolbag and nothing else.

"Dad, be careful when you get in and out of the car. There are many thieves. Carry your schoolbag on your chest, not on your back."

"Some people are squeezing at the door when getting on or off the bus just to steal things. You have to be careful."

"Don't put money in one bag, keep it separately."

"Oh, son, I know all this. Don't worry, take care of the license first. I'll take care of it."

Lao Lu felt that his son was more verbose than himself.

"Haha, okay, as long as you know, be sure to pay attention to safety."

"rest assured."

The train was emitting white steam, and the platform was filled with smoke.

The strong and pungent smell of soot is suffocating.

Lao Lu took the hard truck ticket and walked to the car, and Lu Changhua followed him.

Helped dad find the hard seat.

He explained a few more words.

"Xu Xu~ Xu Xu~"

The conductor stood at the door of the train, looked left and right, and blew the whistle.

The electric bell on the platform rang.

"Come on down, we have to drive."

"Well, I'm leaving, Dad."

Lu Changhua looked back at his father and squeezed towards the car door.

As soon as he jumped off the train, the conductor closed the door.

The train moved slowly, and Lu Changhua waved to his father in the window.

Lao Lu also waved his hand and moved his lips as if he was saying something, but he couldn't hear it at all.

Just keep waving.

The train was getting faster and faster, and Lu Changhua's figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the distance.
